Is the hit in value assumed, or did you see information somewhere. KBB doesn't show much of a change for my 2022 Lariat.

It will have to be either a boosted V6 or a v8 or else you get a huge power drop off when the battery is depleted.

Don't forget the size of the engine that will be needed to meet full power demand when the battery is drained. There can likely be some buffer by load spreading, but I would think they would need at least either the Coyote V8 (boosted)? or the 3.5L twin turbo Ecoboost. We have 580HP and 775...

Well - I guess I will change my answer to Existence. Existing would be a great feature.

What kills me the most is that plenty of data shows that the vast majority of people who get plug in hybrids never actually charge them and they get horrible efficiency toting around a heavy battery that is effectively never used. I suspect that will be the case for many of these EREV...

100% agreed. Also, the climates doesn't have another 5 years for us to move backwards.

Really on the wish side of things, but I would love some form of limited remote control functionality for the drive train. As in your can use your phone to make the truck move backwards or forwards and turn at low (1-2mph) speeds from your phone while outside the truck.

Well - from the video transcript: "Now F-150 owners should know that this is not intended to be some sort of sleeper wing, like you'd find on a big rig, to deliver more aerodynamics when towing. Instead, this is strictly gonna be for appearance only, and really has no functionality to speak of...

There is also the fact that the Ford numbers are on a prepped (high traction) surface. Traction control will and does pull power when you try to do a hard launch which will show up in the times and vary based on the amount of traction you have. Remember, even if it isn't cold enough to be...

I actually built a wooden one of these years ago and it has worked for me pretty well. Got a bit bent when I hit a concrete curb, but no real issues. All in I think it was under $200 for materials.

OK - it wasn't an option, but my preference is a bed mat to keep things from sliding around and nothing else. I have had spray in and drop in before, but they don't hold things in place nearly as well as a good rubber mat. As for the sides, it is a truck. It is meant to get used and...

Anyone have any winter/snow experience with these yet? That is my biggest concern.

Curious as well. I have tried both with and without 1pd in the snow and I definitely prefer 1pd. Reminds me of using engine breaking to slow down in a manual. Could be that I am just more familiar and comfortable with that though.

I recall that thread and the verdict was ~50F. That said, I don't usually plug every night until it gets below freezing. On the main subject - upstate NY and no garage so all charging is outside. No real issues with either the Ford Pro or Grizzl-e L2 chargers freezing over the last several...

Yeah, I am limited to $45/day for up to 10 days, but I would be happy to get that. better than nothing.

Multiple places, drains, seals, and one from the antella pod somehow. Whole floor was soaked.

I enjoy the view too, but it wasn't worth the ~$2,400 I had to pay in repairs for the leaks earlier this year.

Well - not everyone has a 120V outlet near where they park their car, so they would have to install something. It also depends on how cold it gets where you are. Our first EVSE had to be replaced under warranty, so we had to go without it for a couple weeks in the middle of an upstate NY...

Resurrecting this old thread of mine to let you all know, that after months of trying, the dealer has given up and told me if I want reimbursement for any of my hotel / rental costs stemming from the powertrain failure, I would need to go through Ford. But Ford told me I had to go through the...

Maybe. I just foresee lots of folks "saving money" by not installing a home charger and letting their truck idle for hours in the driveway to charge the battery.
